Modulación

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
Hi everyone,

I'm a bit lost with the following sentence:

Pero esto no se queda ahí, ¿y si la modulación de fachada nos sirve para hacer otros submódulos y piezas que nos permitan generar otros espacios?... un sistema integral?

We're talking about repurposing a hospital for administrative use by the local government. Is this talking about the distribution of the facade? Or perhaps panels/sections?

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Best,
Nick

See:
Can Good Architecture Exist Without Modulation? | ArchDailyhttps://www.archdaily.com › Articles
Modulation in architecture means adapting the project to a defined measurement based usually on a specific dimension or material. Whether it is a meter, a brick, a tile, or a container, it serves to guide the design process and make it more efficient and sustainable.Nov 30, 2020

agree Althea Draper : In this case, the modulation is determined by the spacing of the supports within the facade
